Top Notch Laywer

Mr. Lyvere is an awesome attorney! He took care of my divorce and made it as painless as possible. Very responsive and so helpful! If I ever need an attorney in the future, he is the only one I will call!

Expert, works with integrity and compassion

Handled family law matters (still is). He started working on my case during the pandemic and I thought it will slow everything down, but he was prompt with the correspondence, straightforward with the process and honest/up front with the costs and billing. Family legal matters could be an emotional... thing, but the way he conducts himself and talks to you as your representative keep you grounded and objective, which is truly what you need at times like this. He listens. Don't let the detached demeanor fool you. You don't need someone to hold your hand, you need someone dependable (like a big brother) and smart to handle your legal matters.

Amazing Divorce Lawyer

Jonathan was able to get what I couldn't get done in 2.5 years- get my divorce finalized. He looked through all of the paperwork that I had filed and corrected the errors with a complete re-filing. The divorce was finalized 2.5 months later. I would highly recommend his services to anyone... seeking family law services.

Informational Consultation

I met Jonathan for a consultation a few months ago. I've never been divorced but it was looking like that was in the cards for my spouse and I. I had a lot of questions about what that would actually mean and look like for our kids, and the life we had built over th past 11 years. As soon as I w...alked into his office, Jonathan put me at ease. He made sure I knew that even though he dealt with this all of the time, my situation was still unique because it was MY situation and I really felt like he understood this. He listened to all of my questions and explained my rights to me, and how things were likely to play out if we went to court. The way he explained things made it very easy for me to understand, making what I thought would be an overwhelming experience into an encouraging one. My spouse and I have not decided what we are going to do yet, but I feel much better knowing that Jonathan is a phone call away if I need him.
